Giant Gundam Vs. Tiny Gundam Inside Your PS3

Gundam Breaker plays with scale. This Mobile Suit battling game from Namco Bandai has 1/144 scale Gundam and 1/60 scale Gundam in the same arena.

You can fight on a roulette table and battle players right outside Diver City in Odaiba, the place where the 1/1 scale Gundam stands tall. Gundam Breaker also has a asteroid that looks like the Axis base, a snowy mountain stage, and a jungle area that looks kind of like Jaburo.

Please tell me you’re not one of those people who voted all those age kit as rrobbert184’s list of 2012 worst gunpla.

[edit: I just noticed strike freedom is in this game so…does that mean gundam seed DESTINY is uh…HOT?]

Actually, no. I liked AGE’s kits and mechanical designs in general (aside from the FX). Really wish they’d come out with more Vegan kits.

I was referring to the show itself.Look at the ratings. Some of it was actually below X and Turn A in ratings, iirc, which were the lowest rated Gundam shows. The game didn’t sell all the great either, despite Hino’s promise that it would so many copies.

That’s not even going into the fact they let characters drop off the face of the Earth with the plot with the excuse of ‘we’ll let other people fill in what happened for us.’

Don’t have much to say about ratings, I don’t go by them and if destiny is that popular as you say then I probably lost any faith in ratings for future series. Destiny is TRAINWRECK since episode 1 and I’m surprise I was sane enough to go through to episode 50. Bandai is lucky enough for me to even buy their destiny kits since they actually do have good mechanical design.

I hope they replicate the details on each scale. I’m not feeling the 1/144 sinanju since I feel it seem to lacks the detail of the HG 1/144 has. This may be me but doesn’t the 1/60 RX-78 look…blockly? This is 1/60 RX-78 http://www.ebasenet.com/images/g_net/PG_RX78-2/PG_RX78-2-P2.jpg I would expect them to replicate the detail if they are going towards gunpla vs gunpla.

i think they won’t be replicating the details from the plastic models to the in game models just the scale.. coz it might be too much work for them?

Probably not but it would be nice since I build these kit myself and I appreciate the work bandai do for it.

Don

maybe they can add tie-ins with the models they sell like codes and what not to unlock something for the game and help sell models..

i build gunplas as well.. i’m hoping they add the ability to change the color schemes since this game is about kit bashing and all..

If we’re fighting using Gunpla, then this game should be about using our imagination to fire invisible beams from beam guns and attacking enemies with extremely breakable plastic beam sabers.

No really, though, at least the fact that using melee (beam saber) on an enemy mobile suit like a Zaku II and it not being cut in half and exploding immediately would make more sense. (I’m looking at you, Gundam vs Gundam)

… You KNOW there are a LOT of games surrounding a franchise when they dig THIS deep into the “how can we make this concept fresh” barrel. I mean, a virtual simulation of the models of actual robots fighting each other… in various rooms that are to scale with the model… with the possibility of fighting the biggest, “natural scale” model as a boss…

You know I started writing this post all snarky and whatnot, but now that I’m looking at it like a Multiplayer Brawler version of Toy Story? I’m kinda digging it.

They actually did something just like this for an OVA. They actually managed to get Hi-Nu in animated form because of it

Interesting- do you remember the name of said OVA?

This would be the perfect opportunity to use the AR for the Vita version as gimmicky as it may sound.
